Compare Malware Strings of 2 Files for Matches

# run strings on both malware samples
strings64.exe -n 8 malware1.exe > str1.txt
strings64.exe -n 8  malware2.exe > str2.txt

# put the results into 2 arrays
[string []] $lines1 = Get-Content -Path str1.txt
[string []] $lines2 = Get-Content -Path str2.txt

# sort the arrays
$lines1 = $lines1 |sort
$lines2 = $lines2 |sort

# find matches in the 2 lists
$matches = @()
foreach ($str in $lines1) {if($lines2 -contains $str) {$matches += $str}}
$matches|get-unique
